Helleborus 'Apricot Blush'
Winter Jewels Series
Lenten Rose
zones 4-9
|
| Description: 'Apricot
Blush' was hybridized by Marietta O'Byrne of Eugene, Oregon. Marietta has
spent over 15 years pursuing her passion for hellebores, meticulously
selecting and hand-crossing only the best stock plants which she has
gathered from around the world. The new ‘Apricot Blush’ was one of the
O’Byrne’s top sellers during their Hellebore Open Garden Days and it’s easy
to see why. The unique coloration of this variety is perfectly described by
its name. Since it is from seed, each flower is a little different but all
‘Apricot Blush’ flowers fall in the color range of peachy yellow to apricot
with varying degrees of bright rose veining, speckling, and picotee edges.
Often the backs of the petals are marked with red pigments as well, which is
a lovely touch for these downward facing blossoms. ‘Apricot Blush’ produces
very large single flowers measuring about 3-4 inches across. It is an
exceptionally vigorous selection that grows much like ‘Cherry Blossom’, a
pink member of the series. |
